Does TouchSmart keyboard show when the Cap Lock is on?cc=us

When I turn on the Cap Lock key I do not find where it tells me that the key is on lock. I find this to be a great problem when I need to enter a password.

You need to install the OSD/Keyboard software, then it will show in the system tray if the capslock is on.

Is there a way to eneble the caps light while the caps lock is off

I would like to have my computer so that the green LED is on when the caps lock is off. Is there any way?

It's very unlikely that there is any way to do that. Why not just learn to accept that what the light means is what it means?

Hi Moe,
Sounds mostly likje a bad KB, do you have another to test with?
Or...
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Disabling the caps lock delay on the aluminum keyboard

Is there any way of turning off the accidental caps-lock press prevention on the new Apple keyboards? (http://www.tuaw.com/2007/10/07/new-apple-keyboard-has-protection-against-acciden tal-caps-lock/)
I use my caps lock key as Control (SysPrefs -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard -> Modified Keys), and the bounce protection cause me no end of trouble - it is still enabled, though I am not using that key for caps lock.
I called Apple support, and they told me to return the keyboard. I do not think this will make a difference, but maybe a Genius can help me out.

Thanks for your suggestion Tom, but that's not really what we're trying to do.
On early keyboards (when I started typing on computer terminals (in the 70s/80s, yes, before personal computers, the Control key was the key to the left of "A". That was great for programmers since lots of things used Control (shell, Emacs, etc). At some point, the Powers That Be (TM) decided that Caps Lock belonged to the left of the "A" key, so people like me spent their time either hoarding the old-style keyboards or finding ways of putting Control 'back where it should be'.
So disabling Caps Lock altogether does not achieve this goal. And until the Aluminum keyboard, ALL other Apple keyboards have worked fine under OSX using the Keyboard Modifier Key swap to simply make Caps Lock be Control. This Aluminum keyboard still makes the switch and works, but at the cost of having to hold the key longer as if it still were the Caps Lock key. Many typists may not even notice this difference, but to a touch-typist, the key seems simply not to work at all.

When i press the i key with the shift key nothing happens. I can get a capital i only by pressing the cap lock key whats wrong.

When i press the i key with the shift key nothing happens. the only way I can get a capital i is by using the caps lock key what is going on. Also from time to time my mouse acts like someone is sitting on it. this stops when i press the command key. i am using the lateist wireless mouse and keypad.

does it only happen with the i key?
if it doesnt then try presing shift first then i (or any key) second instead of at the same time.
if it only happens with the i key then what i would do is take the keyboard and mouse to an apple store and ask them if they will hook it up on their computer to see if it is the keyboard or computer.

The 'caps lock indicator immediately truns off when any key is pressed.

I have a 6 week old system. When I press(turn on) the 'CAPS LOCK' key it does lite up . However it reverts to lower case - and lite turns off, immediately when ANY OTHER key is touched on the keyboatd.
I ran the anti virus program and it appeared to be fixed. However it does the same thing today, even after I run the anti VIrus program(s) again.

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key and due to an injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She is using a text to speech app to verbaliz

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

How can I fix the UI of the caps-lock on the iOS keyboard NOT to be inverted?

Is there a setting to make the caps lock the colors a user would expect it to be? The current default is backwards and VERY frustration and confusing. If the keyboard is all white the caps-lock should be white when not activated. (Realistically though it seems like a really terrible UI problem that was overlooked during QA...)
To all users I typed "using iPhone" into that annouing text box below that will tell you "you cannot post content..." to everything you type in for the first 50 tries. That's the secret code I guess.

Hmm. Ok, that will temporarily fix it for me. My complaint is more global scope however. Specifically why would they do this? This is Apple making very odd, undeniably backwards and confusing UI decisions. As a developer I'm baffled that they didn't notice or deliberately did this. I have to stop and think at every capital letter I type when I'm on my phone these days. So maybe I'll try a more UI oriented keyboard color in the meantime until Apple tries to type on their keyboard and notice they keep switching the lowercase and capital letters.

The Caps Lock Symbol shows up automatically in the password login box

All of a sudden this keeps happening, and I can't log on as the Administrator anymore, as I usually do.
When I restart the computer, the Caps Lock button lights up automatically, before I touch anything.
When I click on the ID that I want to use to log in, and type in the password, it doesn't work (presumably, because the letters are all cap, and my password is all lower case.
If I press the caps lock button to take it off, the caps lock symbol shows up in the Password box, so my password still doesn't work.
Any ideas on how to get rid of the automatic caps lock, when I can't even log in as Admin to make any changes?
I've already tried re-starting; taking the battery out and restarting...

I've figured out a way to log in as Admin, so I've solved that problem, and I've figured out that the problem is that the caps lock button is reversed somehow; when it is lit, then everything is lower case. If I hit it to take off the light, then everything is upper case. I'm sure there must be a way to solve that. I'm going to check on that now.

I suddenly have two flashing lights on my keyboard by the caps lock key and over the end/pg up key.

I encountered a problem waking my laptop (Pavilion dv7-1270us) this morning. At first it would not wake up and had to do a hard reboot. Now I have two flashing lights on the keyboard -the caps lock light and the one over the end/pg up keys over the number pad. I have run several diagnostics and cannot find an answer as to what this is.
This question was solved.
